Author's Notes
Peacenikky: Hey everyone! I'm sorry to say that the next chapter will take some time to write, especially since my floppy disk decided to delete over 2/3 of my files...
Judi: We have written a Shaman King fic to compensate, but it's probably not that good.
Leanna: So, until Rebecca and I can motivate these two to do some serious reconstruction, you'll just have to wait.
Judi: To keep your minds off your frustration, we have a challenge for you! Read it and try to come up with something! We'll be watching!
Peacenikky: I also put in a trailer for upcoming scenes for the fic, so let me know what you think of it!
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters from Yu-Gi-Oh! All I own is this challenge, Rebecca, Cye, and Nebka. I'm not making any claim on ownership of any fics created because of the challenge, either. ...Jeez, that was boring...
CHALLENGE
Halloween is a night of mystery and mayhem, where the supernatural is rumored to roam about for one night. When Yugi and the gang go to the Fall Festival on Halloween, they're going to learn more than they ever wanted to know about the unleashed spirits of that night.
Here's the deal. The fic can be any genre you want it to be. It should be two or more chapters long, if possible. And keep it clean-nothing too gory or R-rated! You must include: a cursed/haunted House of Mirrors, a character complaining that no one listened when he/she suggested the group avoid said House of Mirrors, a couple of irritating ghosts of past sideshow freaks, and an eccentric ticket-taker.
Please e-mail us at barbieev@aol.com (no making fun of the name, or Judi's putting you on her list of people to barbeque!) and put "Fanfic Challenge" in your subject line. Include the title, genre, and your penname in the message. Authors who do so will be mentioned and acclaimed in the Author's Notes of upcoming chapters, and, well, that's about it. (Nervous chuckle)
Peacenikky: And now, the trailer!
Fade in on a desert oasis near and Egyptian city. A slight breeze blows before a swirling vortex opens up and spits Yugi, Gohan, Trunks, and the others onto the sand.
Joey: Ugh... I think I lost my lunch back in the 1700's...
Yugi: Where are we?
Yami: Ancient Egypt...
Narrator: The sands of time have shifted, and the past is being replayed.
Shaddi: You will assume the guise of nomads until you find the truth behind Bakura's past.
Narrator: Secrets are revealed...
Camera cuts to the oasis at night. Ryou, Trunks, and Rebecca are sitting around a campfire.
Ryou: Trunks, what did Bakura do to your mother?
Camera switches to a court priest holding a scroll and grinning demonically.
Tea, V.O.: Who is that guy?
Camera then cuts to Bakura standing in a grassy field on another world. He stares into a crystal ball and scowls.
Bakura: Nebka...
Narrator: But when you shift sand, it never falls back in quite the same way, and that can cause problems...
Camera pans to the field from before. Shin is pacing back and forth, agitated.
Shin: This was not supposed to happen! Now what are we going to do?
Camera switches to Yugi and Ryou, both wounded, chained up in a dungeon. Nebka stands over them, glaring.
Nebka: I'll get my answers from you soon enough...
Camera cuts to Sendji being tugged into an alley by Joey. Gohan is with him
Gohan: We need your help.
Close up of the Ninja Queen and Cyber Commander attacking from a rooftop.
Camera moves on to see Tristan, Rebecca, Gohan, Videl, and Joey running from a woman brandishing a dagger, then to the whole group staring down a group of palace guards.
Guard: You're coming with us.
Camera cuts to the group in a room in the palace. Their hoods and turbans have been knocked off.
Ryou: Not good...
Pharaoh Yami: Seize them!
Shot of Gohan, Videl, and Yami crouched by an open doorway. Gohan holds a small electronic device in his hand. A shadow falls over the teens as Videl slowly turns around.
Videl: Um, guys?
Narrator: Now showing on Fanfiction.net, the sequel to "Ski Trip Menace"...
Camera cuts to Rebecca sitting at the oasis. She rolls her eyes and gets up slowly.
Rebecca: We're gonna regret this...
"Through the Sands of Time"
Peacenikky: Well, that's the challenge and the trailer! So get cracking and let us know what you've written! Peace, love, and marshmallow bunnies, y'all! Bye! (goes off to try to figure out a way to strangle a floppy disk)
